Being creative is being vulnerable.

Laughter for me is momentary and a shield to hide my true feelings.....it's like laughing too hard that turns into tears and crying. You know that one?

Anger is a shield too - it hides the true feeling. Sarcasm and jokes and puns and quick wit, as entertaining as they are the person behind the words is usually suffering.

Not all is black though. Because I am both. I am hopeful and sad. I am calm and I am angry. I don't have to be one or the other. It takes work.

I would love to see your work.
